Florentin

Locals lounging at hip cafes occasionally set down their craft coffee to browse designer shops in Florentin. As the sun sets, live music echoes down mural emblazoned streets, signaling friends to meet and drink in buzzing bars and markets.

Levinski Market: The Focal Point of Florentin

Shop owners happily hawk Persian spices and Balkan cuisine in this open air street market.

Cumin, cardamom, saffron, and turmeric.

Every fragrant corner is fresh inspiration for tonight's dinner party.

Expressive Exteriors, Delightful Interiors

Locals transform worn walls into lively canvasses.

Hello, new friends.

Hello, old friends.

Interior design shops grace many a street corner.

Everyone in Florentin knows it's whats on the inside that counts.

Free-Spirited Florentin Nights

As the day draws to a close, young students congregate at outdoor cafes.

Flip flops and yesterday's t-shirt? That's alright.

Leave pretense at the door.

Come as you are.
